Default Turbo exhaust

I hope to be running around 8 psi late this summer. I am currently looking to redo my exhaust. Are the premade exhaust systems aka Apexi n1 suitable for turbo? or would it be a better idea to run a universal muffler with custom 2.5" mandrel bent piping with a resonator?

TIA
Alex

If your doing an exhaust for a turbo your best doing a 3 inch exhaust. I used a hooker universal muffler and its awesome, very quiet and 0% rice

Yeah it's all up to personal choice for sound, quality, and cost. but I'd recommend getting larger pipes all the way back instead of keeping the stock pipes. there will be a big difference. 3" is a good size like Whitey said.

When you run that 3" exhoust do you get rid of the cat?

Are there any fittment issues with the 3" coming over the rear suspension? I thought I heard of that. Maybe with really low cars? I don't know.

Resonator will give it a deeper tone I believe..as for hurting power, I'm not sure. Anyone have an answer for this?
